Program information
Those that attend the “Is Endometriosis the Cause of Your Pain” lecture will learn about symptoms, earlier diagnosis, treatment options and improved disease management. Endometriosis is the abnormal growth of the uterine lining outside of the uterus. Depending on the location, symptoms can range from menstrual pain, painful intercourse, urinary urgency, painful bowel movements and infertility. Early consultation with an OB-GYN specialized in endometriosis is recommended.
On April 1, Orthopedic Surgeon and Shoulder Specialist Dr. Rahman Kandil will provide an interactive discussion about nonsurgical and surgical treatment options for shoulder pain and rotator cuff pathology. Problems with the rotator cuff – the tendons located in the shoulder area – are common. They can include tendinitis, bursitis or tears from overuse or an injury. These conditions often make it difficult to engage in self-care and leisure activities, such as combing your hair or playing golf.
On April 21, join Dr. Nauman Akhtar, board-certified Orthopedic Surgeon and Medical Director of Inova Loudoun Hospital’s Joint Replacement Program, for an informative virtual lecture and interactive Q&A session about the latest advances in computer navigated and robotic-assisted hip and knee replacements. Learn how MAKOplasty Total Hip and Knee technology can help patients improve mobility, minimize pain and enjoy a more active lifestyle.
Inova Loudoun Hospital has earned the Gold Seal of Approval from The Joint Commission in knee and hip replacement.
